Absolutely useless

Absolutely useless! Ordered glasses and lenses which took weeks to arrive.
When received the lenses were nothing like the prescription given so were returned.
Over 4 weeks with no communication I had to resolve to paypal to get a refund.
DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!!!! !

Dear Matt,

we are sorry to hear that, and we do apologize deeply for any and all inconveniences. We always strive to provide the best possible services to our customers, and it saddens us we were not able to satisfy your expectations. It is not typical for us to not communicate with our customers, especially when they have issues with our products and would like to file a claim on them - we see that we have communicated with you regarding this issue, and that a full refund was issued from our side on 22.09. after your glasses were returned and received successfully. If there are any further claims or issues you have with our products or services, we would love to help you - please, reach out to us at info@alensa.co.uk.

Sunglasses are seconds or fakes but NOT first quality

Glasses arrived. They are seconds, I bought Burberry sunglasses, whilst they have burberry on the lens, they do not have the signature check on the arms and as shown in the photographs on Alensa’s own website. I am expected to pay for the return of good which are not as shown and are ultimately seconds.
I am still waiting for my refund - many excuses, had to get my credit card company to assist!
A whole week since my return was delivered and. o communication from Alensa. Please note if you go to google maps to see the rerun address, it is simply a semi detached house. Further evidence that this is a scam shop

Dear Joanne,

we are sorry to hear that the quality of our products did not meet your expectations, and we do apologize deeply for that. Please, return the faulty item back to us for a review and a reimbursement. As we are currently working on our returns system, the only way for now to return a faulty product is via a tracked post, for which we will later refund your money once the claim is approved. We do apologize for that, and we hope that you could facilitate such return at your own costs that we would refund immediately upon receiving and reviewing the product. Please, contact us at info@alensa.co.uk should you need further assistance with your return, or any other issue you would happen be experiencing with our items or services.

Hello Malcolm,

Thank you for your review. We are sorry for the inconvenience caused by the size discrepancy within your order. As soon as your return was received, we issued a full refund for the product in line with our standard procedure.

We understand your concern about the return postage. However, as explained in our communication, our policy – which follows statutory withdrawal regulations – does not cover return postage costs. This is also outlined in our terms and conditions and the page explaining the returns process.

While we regret that this has caused disappointment, we appreciate your feedback and will continue working on ways to improve clarity and customer experience.

Kind regards,

Hello Belinda,

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are sorry to hear you were disappointed with the delivery time.

We would like to clarify that your order placed on Friday, 15/08 was dispatched the very same day in the afternoon. As stated on our website, InPost deliveries typically take 2–4 working days after dispatch (the stated timeframe on the website also takes into account that parcels travel from outside the UK before reaching their destination). Your parcel was delivered on 20/08, which was the 3rd working day after dispatch and therefore within the expected timeframe.

Although we understand it may have felt slower than expected, please note that your order was delivered within the timeframe outlined at checkout.

We hope this helps clarify the timeline and we appreciate your understanding.

Kind regards,
Alensa Customer Service Team

Poor quality and refusal of return and refund of dolce and gabbana glasses

Ordered a pair or dolce and gabbana eye glasses last year. Cost me around £110+. I then fitted the highest quality lenses from another optician, bringing my total cost to £300+.

After 1 year, the frame has eroded away, and the silver titanium colour has turned silver due to the peeling - all across the glasses. I sent pictures to Alensa explaining the issue and showing them the frames in-depth. I've been going back and forth for MONTHS with them, and as a "gesture of good will" they offered a 25% refund which is ridiculous. I explained that these frames look worse than the free vision express frames you get, and nothing I would expect from Dolce Gabbana. The logo on the right side is also slanted and peeling off and I really do question their authenticity.

After they issued a 25% refund, i said i would like the full refund as these are just ridiculous. I've spent a combined total of 300 plus pounds and received some fake, peeling off poor quality frames from a supposed reputable company. Alensa offered a 100% refund if I return the glasses and I said fine, as long as you return them back to me as I have my own lenses in them. Low and behold, the scammy company refused and said we'll keep them and you get a refund. What are you going to do with highly personalised lenses and the damaged frame? Why should I need to return these for "inspection" when the pictures show the truth.

All in all, a terrible poor experience. I wouldn't buy a sock from them let alone a designer pair of glasses. I've also cancelled my and family members contact lenses purchases. The customer service is dirt poor - DO NOT DEAL WITH THESE GUYS. Go to your high street or another reputable dealer, not these European companies with a warehouse in the UK.

Order number is 170546010.

Hello Dan,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are sorry to hear about the issue you have experienced with the glasses.

To clarify our policy: when a customer requests a full refund for a frame, we do require the frame itself to be returned to us. This is a necessary standard practice so that we can send the item for inspection, report the issue to the manufacturer, and ensure that similar cases are addressed in the future.

Please note that you do not need to return your prescription lenses - you can have them removed prior to sending the frame back. Alternatively, if you are unable to do so, and you send the complete glasses back, Alensa can offer to send the lenses back to yourself once the package arrives with us.

We regret if this was not clear in our earlier communication. The partial refund was offered only as an alternative in case you wished to keep the frame despite the defect.

Our goal is always to resolve situations like this fairly and transparently, and we are happy to process a full refund for the frame once it is returned. If you have any questions, regarding the return process, please feel free to reach out to us directly.


Kind regards,
Alensa Customer Service Team

Reviews didn't reflect my experience.

I was looking for trials multifocal and this company offered the possibility to get a pack of just 5 so went for their, I assume, house brand TopVue.

I wasn't expecting much since they're cheap but based on my limited usage they would have been perfect if they worked.

My prescription glasses add is +2:00, on my glasses I requested +2:25 since I wasn't happy with a lower one and I ordered these lenses with an add of +2:50.

Just tried them on and the add is not real. I need to put on glasses of +1:00 to read my mobile which defeat the purpose of wearing multifocals.

I wanted to leave a review on their website just to worn people that perhaps these type of lenses are not great for a high add but didn't find the option to do that, despite seeing a total of 35 reviews for this particular product with a total rating of 100%.

Hence my decision to leave a comment on here instead.

Other than that they have a good variety of lenses and cheap delivery options so it would have been grand if the lenses worked.

Hello,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.

We are sorry to hear that they did not meet your expectations. Multifocal lenses can sometimes behave differently depending on the prescription strength and individual eye needs, and we would like to look into this more closely for you.

If you haven’t already, please contact us at info@alensa.co.uk. If possible, you can also include a photo of your current prescription so that our team can review the details and advise further.

We appreciate your feedback on the product and are glad to hear you were otherwise satisfied with our variety of lenses and delivery options.

Unhappy customer

Paid an additional £11.90 for UPS express 1-2 business delivery instead of the free option. Received an email today informing of a delivery date 1 week after purchasing. Alensa aren’t willing to refund the monies used for this express delivery that never happened and were generally very unhelpful. Very unhappy

Hello S.J,

Thank you for your feedback. We are very sorry to hear about your disappointment. We would like to clarify how our shipping and delivery works to avoid any misunderstanding.

For sunglasses and glasses frames, dispatch can sometimes takes place within 1–3 working days after the order has been made as the item might need to undergo internal transfer first. The exact date of dispatch is as stated on the product page and in the basket. The express delivery option (UPS Express - 1–2 business days) applies from the day of dispatch, not the day of purchase. In your case, your order was dispatched on 25/08 and, according to the couriers, successfully delivered on 27/08, which is the second working day after dispatch, which falls within the express delivery timeframe.

We completely understand that this may not have been as clear as you expected when placing your order, and we are sorry for any confusion or frustration caused. As a gesture of goodwill, our offices have agreed to refund your postage cost. A refund for it has been issued as of this morning.

We truly value your feedback, as it helps us improve communication around shipping times. If you have any further concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us directly.

Kind Regards,
Alensa Customer Service Team

2 disinfection cases needed

Very pleased with the quick service & delivery.

However the pack of 2 AOsept 360ml bottles only come with one contact lens disinfection case which is ridiculous. Each case lasts only 30 days & I have 60 days of solution. So therefore one bottle won’t be able to be used. I contacted Alensa to be told this is how it comes. It clearly says on the Alcon site that each bottle needs a case. Absolute madness & a waste of money. Don’t buy!
